Birth Reflections

Support for you to reflect on your labour and birth experience

Healthy Lifestyle buggy push col Pregnancy, labour, birth, and the postnatal period can be different for every woman/birthing person and their families.

We are all different. Some birth experiences may leave women feeling empowered and strong, whilst others may be left feeling traumatised, distressed, or confused. For many, birth can be a mixture of all these emotions and experiences.

For some women, their birth experience may not be what they hoped for. Birth often brings up big emotions and it may be helpful to have the space to reflect and talk about these feelings and experiences with a midwife or other health care professional who will also have access to your notes.

Weeks, months or even years after the birth of your baby, you may find that you would like more information about what happened during their birth and why certain things were done.

The Birth Reflections service aims to support you by allowing you to talk through these feelings and events, and have a better understanding of what happened during your labour and birth.
